Haywood County Phone Scam

We are receiving reports of scammers claiming to be officers with the Waynesville Police Department, NC. The caller (scammer) states that there is a warrant for the victim’s (or a family member’s) arrest and demands payment in the form of gift cards or prepaid cards.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SEND THESE SCAMMERS MONEY. THE CALLER WILL TRY TO INSTILL A SENSE OF URGENCY AND MAY SOUND THREATENING.

Please call us at 828-456-5363 with any questions or concerns.
